The biggest block is that seekers, despite what they usually say to the contrary, almost never want Truth or enlightenment at any cost.

And just as big a block – if not bigger – is the fact that even fewer seekers have any sort of an informed grasp on what enlightenment actually is. They don’t realize that the heart of enlightenment is to die while alive. Because enlightenment will be the direct discovery of their true non-identity, so to speak. People who are totally identified with their fictitious personalities are terrified to know who and what they truly are. Too much is at stake for their sense of a separate self - which they have been investing in all their lives through their identification with thoughts, patterns, and habits. That fear has rarely been examined by them in a way which has the potential to show that it is ultimately not real, and is often based upon a person’s intuited lack of control over anything at all – or their sensing of the fact that nothing is at ‘their’ core. By addressing that fear seriously, right from the start, there is a chance to perhaps get beneath some layers. This can happen when one looks at one’s plight with honesty, and starts to see the true objective far more realistically.
